Have a bunch of bead chains in different sizes from a hardware store. Tried to cut off a single bead for a beadhead fly, but a piec of the connecting metal "string" gets stuck in the bead and I can't get it out unless I clamshell the bead then the shape is lost. Is this a useless idea? Figured someone might have tried it before. I just have a mountain of these things.
